Chief Whip Gavin Williamson has been despatched to Belfast

Meanwhile Mrs May was seen out and about doing some shopping with her husband Philip, who was pictured trailing behind, bags in hand.

Yesterday she gave a speech outside Downing Street where she made clear she wants support from her "friends and allies" in the DUP to secure her minority administration ahead of the Queen's Speech on June 19.
